Apparently it is possible to be granted a waiver by a doctor, but we don't know if that happened yet.

Well I hope not. It's one thing for a person on anti depressants to be given a waiver by a doctor, but if they're on full blow anti psychotics then that's a bridge too far.
It's possible this was just another "he fell through the cracks, whoops" situation where the system just missed him.
Which then begs the question: if we can't even enforce the laws we have...is adding even more laws the solution?

I don't think adding new laws should be dependent on the success of current laws. Any potential new laws should be addressed and debated on their own merits.
And I'm sure you also agree that it's silly to discuss new laws when a lot of the failings of the system have to do with a lack of enforcement of the ones we have.
Let's enforce the laws we have and see what happens, and *then* we can judge if a new law is needed.

Isn't that basically what we're doing? It's not like any new sweeping gun laws are being passed. It gets talked about after every major shooting, but then in a week it's forgotten for a month or two until the next one happens.

The Texas church shooter was dishonorably discharged and should have been ineligible to purchase the guns he used in the shooting. The proper gun control policy was in place but there was a clerical error.
And in Japan - which has, from what I can find, the most strict and Draconian gun laws in out of any modern nation - does random home searches for people who have licenses for guns. Meaning, you get randomly inspected to see if you're properly storing your gun and not having unlicensed guns in the home.
However...and this is what confuses the hell out of me...these laws are only targeting law-abiding citizens, not the criminals.
Take the Texas church shooter, for example: suppose the system prevented him from buying guns because of the dishonorable discharge. So what? Then he can either steal a gun or make a gun. If he is determined to do an illegal thing, he can make it happen through illegal channels. As I posted about before, Japan has an illicit gun trade problem, too. They don't get special passes because they have extreme gun control laws. So if even Japan has a problem with illegal firearms, then what's to stop someone in the US from going on a mass shooting? The gun control laws do little to nothing to stop gun violence. Not in Japan. Not in the US. They mostly target law abiding citizens. That's stupid as hell.
If mass shootings are what we want to stop, great. Let's stop them. But more gun control is clearly not the answer.
I covered this in great detail, before. Before they (Japan) put in their Draconian gun laws, both times, their murder rates were already low and their murder rates actually went up after their gun laws were put in place.
I didn't test for statistical significance but it's possible there there is a correlation between their strict gun laws going in place and murder rates going up.
Weird how we don't hear much about the texas church shooting. It had more victims than Parkland.
I wonder why? Does anyone care to offer up any theories?
Obviously someone from the NRA ending up stopping the shooter isn't the reason it was ignored. Granted, lil Davey Hogg got more interviews than that hero buuut...still.

One thing they don't die a lot from in Japan is islamic terrorism.
